A contrario

Silk dyed with cochineal and logwood.
This is the best thing to have happened in a long time.

All of the red things...
I just got a hold of more lac and cochineal and madder. This weekend I want to dye silk. I have a mad amount of silk at home right now.

silk, silk, silk.

Also... I was looking into knitting looms, because I have been desiring to get back into weaving. But I think I am more than capable of making one myself. For real. Lets see how this one goes.
(And since I have a wool addiction, this will help me use it faster and with more intensity.)

So engrossed in knitting, I don't see cars explode.

Ab ovo usque ad mala

This Saturday i'm teaching a dye workshop at the shop (Baaad Anna's Yarn Store) on how to dye with Cochineal.
Pretty great... mostly because I love the colour it creates, but also because we're using bugs for dye. And it freaks people out. And I think its funny. Ha.

And more on colour....
I got to go to the beach in White Rock with my bestie...
I did this for her...

And I have a friend that takes the best photos...

These are all things that are pretty great.

Time to go outside. Its dye harvest time.
